Statistically poor people stay poor down the generations, although it is probably the case that black communities experience structural inequalities to a greater extent than white communties.
They do but what is the structural inequality. Those crime figures I posted and the comment later are interesting in as much the cure for crime is punishment. It doesn't take any notice of reasons for more crime in areas or groups of people. We hear about people being radicalised they can also be criminalised in the same way due to circumstances and what they see going on around them. When we are young while some are probably not aware of it we are very malleable and will pick up ideas and attitudes from others. Education and parents can also have a big influence on peoples attitudes to all sorts of things. History is one of the problem areas. If people aren't given a balanced view they are unlikely to ever have one.
The police have fast tracked ethnic recruits for a long time. What that really means is providing they meet their standards but few take up the jobs when they are available. A lot of white people wouldn't either hence dropping the old height restriction. My grandad encouraged me to join and pointed out the advantages but I didn't fancy the job. When I started work there was plenty of choices. It isn't a job that all will aspire to. Balancing up ethnically other than providing better jobs for some is unlikely to make much difference really.
Clinton wanted to fast track groups. Opinion form a well educated man from Kansas. Clinton's a red we're having none of that. The good ones do get on if they are worth it. Takes no notice of where and how many black Americans grew up etc.
Sounds like we will be treated with the police controlling a crowd on the news shortly. Parliament square and maybe later due to an instruction for demo's to end at 5pm. The majority of protesters will be young when life is seen as simple and things like this are black and white when there isn't a simple solution really.
